Loose Threads: Calvin Klein, Parade, Lee and Levi's

The collection is made by Western handbag and accessory manufacturer Montana West, which also produces handbags for Lee’s sister brand, Wrangler. The designs pay homage to Lee’s denim legacy through materials such as denim and vegan leather. Each bag showcases Lee’s signature “Twitch” logo.

Styles include a vegan leather top handle tote with a chain strap. The bag features an embossed Lee logo on the front, and Lee logo applique on the side. It includes two inside pockets—one zippered, one open. The same style of bag is available in light or dark indigo denim canvas with contrasting vegan leather trim.

A mini tote/crossbody bag made with denim canvas fabric is a smaller option. The bag, available in light or dark indigo, has contrasting vegan leather handles and a detachable crossbody strap.

The collection retail for $30-$48 and is available at Lee.com and on MontanaWest.com, as well as on Montana West’s Amazon site ad TikTok shop—a first for Lee.

“Lee has a loyal female customer and we are excited to offer her pieces that complement the jeans she already loves,” said Jimmy Shafer, Lee’s senior VP. “Montana West understands how to authentically interpret a brand’s style in their designs. They have a robust following on social media and we’re excited to introduce this bag to their fans.”
